For a lot of my senior sellers, the house has been home for 20, 30, or 40+ years. The kids grew up there. James Buckley at Canopy Property Group helps seniors sell and move at their own pace, whether that's to a smaller house, a 55+ community, or a condo a short walk from Rockville Town Square.
It's a financial transaction and a personal milestone at the same time. There shouldn't be arbitrary deadlines. There are practical pieces too: the capital gains exclusion, decades of belongings, age-restricted community options, accessibility in the next home, and a move that doesn't upend your finances or your health.
A retired couple had lived in their Maryland home about 30 years and weren't sure they were ready. We talked with no obligation. When they were ready, I found a 55+ new construction community that fit them, guided their design selections, and sold their home above asking. Their words: "I have been a homeowner for the last 45 plus years...none like James. He is truly the BEST."
